The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) began in 1981 when Wichita, Kansas (USA), Police Chief Richard LaMunyon saw an urgent need to increase awareness of Special Olympics. He also saw it as an ideal way to involve local law enforcement personnel with the Special Olympics community. Thirty years later, that flicker has become a roaring flame of stability for Special Olympic athletes worldwide.

Please contact Officer Cherese Spears at 630-551-7359 or Connie Jackson at 630-551-7300 with any questions.

Special thanks to the Oswego Police Department for the release.
